And the next three guys I have coming on, they have a podcast.
[0:07]
It's really funny.
[0:08]
Wow.
[0:09]
They had our theme music and everything.
[0:22]
Yeah.
[0:24]
Don't sue us.
[0:27]
So do you guys want to go through your names and everything together?
[0:35]
And let's start with the fine gentleman at the end, not Mitch.
[0:39]
Wow.
[0:40]
Fine gentleman.
[0:41]
I'm Dan McCoy.
[0:42]
I'm Stuart Willingham.
[0:43]
My name is Elliot Kalin.
[0:44]
And these are the Flophouse, ladies and gentlemen.
[0:45]
One of the longtime staples of the show is that we do talk about notoriously bad movies
[0:56]
and a lot of the current crap that's coming out of Hollywood now is really infuriating.
[1:01]
So I always feel like it's a good time to poke holes in it.
[1:04]
And I think one of the things, and you guys believe too, is that the horror movie genre
[1:08]
has been going down tubes.
[1:11]
I think one of the things I don't, I'm not a really big fan of, by the way, like a candy
[1:15]
bar that may contain nuts, this may contain spoilers.
[1:23]
So if you're allergic to spoilers, I guess, avoid this part of the show.
[1:26]
This is a producer's factory that may have also produced spoilers.
[1:32]
What's the accepted amount of insect parts or rat feces in these questions?
[1:38]
So my question...
[1:41]
I noticed you didn't answer that.
[1:43]
I'm suddenly terrified due to the underscoring that's going on.
[1:49]
I couldn't quite comprehend because my mind is so small, what you just said.
[1:54]
Oh, that's okay.
[1:55]
Okay.
[1:56]
So my initial question is the Saw movies that are coming out.
[2:00]
I was wondering how many movies is it going to take for Saw to follow the Jason trend
[2:05]
that it will be in space?
[2:08]
Wow.
[2:09]
Saw in space.
[2:10]
Saw in space.
[2:11]
Yeah, sure.
[2:12]
I think you've just sold a million dollars worth of movies.
[2:15]
Is there some way to include a carnival?
[2:19]
Some high school musicals.
[2:20]
Yeah.
[2:21]
Well, Saw has to go to the hood before he can go to space.
[2:24]
Yeah.
[2:25]
That's the way the chain works.
[2:26]
Yeah.
[2:27]
First you go to the hood, then you go somewhere else, then you go back to the hood.
[2:32]
Then you go to Vegas.
[2:33]
None of them go to the Old West, which is what I wanted to do.
[2:35]
Saw in the Old West would be interesting, though, because he's going to have to construct
[2:39]
all his traps out of things that were available at the time.
[2:43]
Yeah.
[2:44]
Pretty much it would be like the traditional Rube Goldberg trap.
[2:47]
Right, right.
[2:48]
There's a candle that goes through a string and the canary dies or something.
[2:52]
Yeah.
[2:53]
It looks hard enough back then as it is.
[2:55]
I mean, you don't really need a trap.
[2:58]
Yeah.
[2:59]
If the Oregon Trail is taught as something else, people are going to die whether or not
[3:03]
Saw is going to die.
[3:04]
And also that it's fun to shoot more bison than you can carry.
[3:11]
I don't like the Saw movie because I feel like you lost the face of a killer kind of
[3:15]
thing.
[3:16]
Because in Jason and Freddy, you had an identifying person who was murdering you.
[3:20]
Yeah, it's very easy to identify with Jason, a man who has no personality, does not talk,
[3:25]
and has no face.
[3:27]
But Saw just seems to be about just how elaborate they are going to kill you.
[3:32]
Well, but you've got to imagine Saw spent a lot of time with his papier-mâché making
[3:36]
that mask.
[3:37]
You know, I think that humanizes him.
[3:39]
He's like a fifth grader.
[3:40]
I would say what you're getting at is Saw is the thinking man's movie and, like, say
[3:44]
Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street are the feeling man's movies.
[3:47]
Yes.
[3:48]
Because there's someone you can identify with.
[3:49]
Yeah.
[3:50]
Wait, isn't it that little puppet that's killing everybody in those Saw movies?
[3:53]
What's going on?
[3:54]
No, I don't understand.
[3:55]
I think you're thinking of the game with Michael Douglas.
[3:59]
Oh my god, that's what happened?
[4:01]
Well, as far as you know, yes.
[4:04]
You can only really see the game once, by the way.
[4:07]
I don't know.
[4:08]
Has anyone ever seen the game?
[4:10]
Maybe your tape is broken.
[4:16]
No, I think it will prove you wrong.
[4:18]
We have the DVD of the game in our pocket.
[4:21]
We will prove it after the show.
[4:24]
Well, what are some of your favorite horror movies that you really like?
[4:29]
Like, the ones that you think are the best.
[4:31]
I mean, aside from, I have to say The Shining is kind of the stand-by horror movie to say
[4:37]
is the best.
[4:38]
I'm a big fan of the horror comedy, which is why I'm sort of glad that Zombieland has
[4:42]
actually been successful this last weekend.
[4:44]
Because historically, the horror comedy, America's like, what the fuck's this?
[4:49]
I don't like to laugh while I'm getting scared, but I love An American Wild from London.
[4:54]
Yeah, that's a pretty great one.
[4:56]
It's got a lot of great comedic elements to it.
[5:00]
It delivers everything the title promises.
[5:05]
For that alone.
[5:07]
The transformation scene is goddamn freaky as hell.
[5:12]
But he asked us what our favorite movie is.
[5:17]
I wish, did you know about the movie Unborn?
[5:21]
Oh yeah, we just watched that.
[5:22]
Yeah, that's the most recent podcast that we did.
[5:25]
Oh, you did?
[5:26]
Unborn, yeah, I wish, the movie doesn't play up any Jewish characteristics in any of the characters.
[5:33]
Well, the only Jewish character in it is played by Gary Oldman.
[5:37]
I think that there was a movie executive who was like, I hear J-Horror is really big right now.
[5:43]
And they misunderstood it.
[5:44]
You know, they were on J-Dates.
[5:46]
It was the same thing, yeah, Jewish horror.
[5:50]
I feel like you're getting shortchanged.
[5:52]
Even though there are potentially two microphones on you at any time.
[5:56]
I don't even know what's going on.
[5:59]
I thought Larry David would have been a better rabbi in the movie, but I think that would have been more...
[6:04]
They had many more problems in the movie than who to play the rabbi.
[6:08]
Yeah, I think that the fact that Gary Oldman agreed to be in the movie was not the problem of the movie.
[6:16]
One of my fantasies is to see Dice Man do a horror movie.
[6:21]
I think it's happened.
[6:23]
I mean, it wasn't called a horror movie.
[6:26]
We're all familiar with that.
[6:31]
He should make a movie called Dice Man.
[6:34]
And it's like Candyman, but he kills people with games of chance.
[6:39]
Does Candyman kill people with candy then?
[6:41]
Not in the movie, but in his spare time I have to assume.
[6:44]
How did he get the name otherwise?
[6:48]
He's just a fan of the game Candyland.
[6:51]
That's what he does.
[6:52]
Then they would call him Candyland Man.
[6:55]
That's a fair point.
[6:58]
You got me.
[7:00]
Stuart, do you have a recommendation for your all-time favorite horror movie?
[7:07]
It's like giving a tiny press conference.
[7:11]
I was planning on recommending the Saw movies, but I just don't know what to say anymore, so I guess it's Elegant.
[7:18]
I think the first three are the best, but the last ones I've seen, they kind of repeat flashback information.
[7:24]
I actually don't like those movies, they're not very good.
[7:29]
A movie I'd like to recommend is a movie called Killing Spree, starring a guy named Asbestos Felt.
[7:35]
He gets mad because he thinks his wife's cheating on him, kills a bunch of people, and then they come back from the dead and kill him.
[7:44]
Killing Spree, starring Asbestos Felt.
[7:47]
Now I have to assume that's his given name, Asbestos Felt.
[7:51]
That's what his Christian name is.
[7:54]
Elliot, do you have any recommendations?
[7:56]
I have a soft spot in my heart for recent... I mean, I'm not talking about 30s horror movies or anything like that.
[8:03]
I'm sure...
[8:05]
Let's save things that people are going to actually go see, maybe.
[8:10]
Wow, wow. Way to underestimate your audience.
[8:14]
These rubes.
[8:16]
Ouch.
[8:17]
I love you guys.
[8:20]
But John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness, I've always had a soft spot for.
[8:24]
It's not a perfect movie, but...
[8:26]
He's got nails in it.
[8:28]
Yes, Sam Neill is in it.
[8:30]
Juergen Prochnow's in it, right?
[8:32]
Yes, Juergen Prochnow is also in it.
[8:34]
Stewart just likes movies with people with strange names.
[8:38]
Juergen Prochnow, he just enjoys saying it.
[8:41]
But that one is... it's a thinker.
[8:44]
But there's also, you know, scare effects and monsters and things like this.
[8:48]
It's basically the story H.P. Lovecraft should have written for the screen.
[8:52]
But he didn't, because he died long before he had that chance.
[8:56]
Great.
[8:57]
Well, I'm sorry we had to move on, guys.
[8:59]
But ladies and gentlemen, The Blop House!
[9:09]
Would you guys want to stick around on stage while the Blop House sisters perform?
[9:13]
Sure.
[9:15]
This is a very comfortable couch.
[9:17]
Yeah, thank you. I'm glad that we have a big family here tonight.
